If you asked me a few years ago if I thought food would ever change my life, I probably would’ve said only maple syrup. Turns out moving to the South introduces you to BBQ and man oh man did they get me hook, line and sinker.
I love it. I love the BBQ sauce, I love how sometimes its so good you don’t even want the BBQ sauce, the juiciness of the meat, the flavor straight from the smoker. Trying out different variations never gets old, it just makes you work out a little more.
Let me introduce you to North Main BBQ, in Euless , TX . Founded in 1981, you better believe this place is still more popular than ever for a reason. It’s delicious! If you are ever looking for it, just look for the giant pig out by the sign but be careful, they are only open Friday, Saturday and Sunday’s. I’m pretty sure they do this only so we can crave it more during the week.
When you walk into the restaurant you will be amazed by the memorabilia on the walls. Banners, trophies, pictures from every BBQ competition you can think of from all over the country. It’s pretty amazing.
These don’t cover 1/8th of what’s in there!
On your way out you will notice the wall and bulletin boards near the door. This is the visitors galley so to speak. Signed photographs and notes from celebrities who have come to visit, including football players, actors, comedians and musicians. Ted Allen (the host of the Food Network’s Chopped) claimed North Main BBQ to be the best BBQ he’s ever had!
North Main offers two plate options. 1 – Sandwich only. Choose your meat, they’ll put it on a bun. Sides are extra. 2 – All you can eat. What kind of meat you ask? Chopped brisket, sliced brisket, chicken, sausage and ribs. (They are known for their ribs). BBQ sauce is available for your liking. Sides include beans, potato salad, coleslaw. Sweet and unsweetened tea are on the house. If that doesn’t suit your fancy, its also BYOB. To top it all off, they have a “help-yourself” soft serve ice cream machine, if you have room!
A plate of the all you can eat!
My personal favorite is the chopped brisket sandwich. The meat is moist, juicy, smoked and its perfected. It’s so good, I find no need to add extra BBQ sauce. I just grab a heaping spoonful of potato salad and I’m good to go. So delicious and filling.
I’ve got to stop talking about all this food, it’s only Wednesday! See you this weekend North Main BBQ!
This reminds me of Red Hot & Blue here! Yummm
